The best items of clothing to wear , especially from early evening on , is a light cotton long pants and long sleeve cotton shirt that you either bring with or purchase when you get here. You will wear this no matter if you are in chiang mai , bangkok or in phuket. I have lived here for a few...

Sorry to interupt this friendly interlude , but the cost of scuba diving or equipment was not in question. What I would like to know , is how much you are prepared to pay for a manual that is not in your language and that you could not read. I agree with having to have the manual , and I do...

Agree'd , but you are forgetting the fact that the pink form that goes to padi is in the pack , that the student does not need. Its a catch 22.

When I originally posted this thread it was not about the cost of scube diving or about the sport in general. It relates to the fact that since you now have to buy the manual from padi , the price has also doubled. I was firstly under the impression that the price increase was from padi , hence...

DITTO :D

Call me lazy , but has anyone got any info on some sort of underwater GPS system that one could use instead of a compass. An electronic device that you could set your "0" position ( on the boat or at your entry point on the beach ) , and then do your dive without worrying about how many kicks...
